<p>I am against a game that has a goal of delaying sexual activity. Teaching the risks and how to protect against HIV that is fine but telling them to not have sex is not.</p>
<p>If they have sex with condoms will there still be a problem?</p>
<p>Will it Teach them not only the risk but also the joy?</p>
<p>Just remember cant stop human nature, And trying to is dangerous.</p>

<p>Or the &#39;abstinence&nbsp;only&#39; faction comes in and decrys how horrible it is that children might learn to do things safely and that the only hope for those little inner city kids is to scare them to Christianity, then they will magically not have sex till marriage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Such a game already exists, though it&#39;s nowhere near as comprehensive as this one strives to be:&nbsp; it&#39;s called <em>School Days</em> and covers a wide array of the problems that teenagers face, including young love, underage sexuality, bullying, depression, teen pregnancy, and suicide.&nbsp; The story has received an animated adaptation; those who have already seen it can swear that its ending is something you won&#39;t be forgetting anytime soon.</p>
<p>The game&#39;s <a href="http://www.jlist.com/product/JAST004">HD remake</a> is being released in English within the next year, and the animated version can be streamed for free at <a href="http://www.crunchyroll.com/school-days">Crunchyroll</a>.&nbsp; If you&#39;ve ever heard the meme &quot;Nice Boat&quot;, this is where the expression came from.</p>
<p>Suffice to say, Fiellin&#39;s project could be very interesting if done right.&nbsp; I &#39;m worried that the writing in it may be as forced and preachy as an afterschool special, but I hope for the best.</p>

<p><strong>now</strong> everyone thinks they are bad. In fact a growing number of academics see the value in video games as teaching aids. For example, a Yale professor is trying to use them to teach sex education.</p>

<p>Might want to fix the typo. I don&#39;t think that&#39;s what you meant. Not everyone thinks games are bad.</p>

<p>Copy edit.. where can it be found? So is this a Harvard professor or a Yale professor? The title says Harvard and then the article has no mention of that school ever.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also, normally typos don&#39;t bother me, but when they completely change the meaning of a sentence, i.e.&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p>now everyone thinks they are bad.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Come on, now..</p>
